Founder & CEO
Founder & CEO, Voafit | Board-Certified Emergency Physician
Helping individuals achieve their optimal physique through precision GLP-1 therapy, sustainable nutrition, and science-driven performance strategies.
ABOUT
My mission is to help individuals achieve their optimal physique while maintaining balance in their family, work, and social lives through precision-based GLP-1 therapy and sustainable lifestyle strategies.
I take a precision-driven, evidence-based approach to weight management and body composition — combining individualized GLP-1 dosing, strength training, protein-first nutrition, and advanced peptide therapies.
This work goes beyond prescriptions and protocols. It's about creating sustainable, real-world habits that help people look, feel, and perform their best without obsession or restriction.
Dr. Ian Justl Ellis is the Founder, CEO, and Lead Physician at Voafit. He specializes in helping individuals achieve their optimal physique while maintaining balance in their family, work, and social lives. His approach focuses on creating sustainable, real-world nutrition and exercise habits that can be maintained long-term without obsessive or unhealthy behaviors.
Dr. Ellis has spent much of his life addressing what he describes as the "appetite problem." As a teenager determined not to follow the path of out-of-shape adults around him, he immersed himself in athletics, amateur bodybuilding, professional dance, and became a certified personal trainer. Despite achieving the desired outward appearance, he found himself caught in cycles of restriction, bingeing, and frustration.
During medical school, marriage, and raising children simultaneously, he experienced significant personal weight gain and burnout, finishing residency sixty pounds overweight. In 2022, he was introduced to GLP-1 weight management medications, which helped address persistent hunger for the first time. However, using them in standard recommended dosing approaches resulted in muscle loss, weakness, and poor nourishment.
In response, Dr. Ellis developed a precision-based approach to GLP-1 therapy that combines strength training, protein-first nutrition, hydration, and individualized dosing strategies. He also incorporated advanced peptide therapies to support hormonal optimization, muscle retention, and recovery.
As a board-certified Emergency Physician, Dr. Ellis observed the risks of poorly managed GLP-1 and hormone therapies in clinical practice. He founded Voafit to provide physician-supervised precision dosing combined with individualized nutrition, exercise coaching, and advanced hormonal and peptide support.
Dr. Ellis earned his M.D. from the University of Colorado, completed Emergency Medicine residency training at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, and a fellowship in Medical Education. His background includes studies in Athletic Training, Biology, and Psychology, graduating summa cum laude.
Today, he integrates his background in medicine, performance, and fitness to help patients achieve sustainable, long-term health outcomes through patient-centered care.
